CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
Introduction
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim results for the period ended 30 June 2017. Derriston floated on to the standard listing of the official list on the London Stock Exchange on 29 December 2016. The Company was created to undertake an acquisition within the medical technology industry.
During this period, Derriston recorded a loss of £140,176, the vast majority relating to the formation of the Company and its admission to the standard list. Since float, the Company has lost £7,273. Cash assets at period end were nearly £2.2 million and it has no debts.
Outlook
Given the large number of exciting opportunities we are analysing, the board has decided to widen the scope of Derriston's investment criteria and look at acquisitions within all technology and other high growth sectors
I believe this change in strategy can create significant shareholder value and I look forward to updating the market when further progress is made.
